How did you write a go script faster than a python script? That sounds intriguing.

The time it takes to 'go run' a go program is about the same as the time it takes to run a python program. If you are able to write Go code faster than Python code (that is the important "if". I can, some cannot. It's a personal thing.), then Go will be faster than python.
edit script in vim.
use :!go run %
It will compile and run the script so fast you will swear it was an interpreted language except it runs way faster than an interpreted language.
